Understanding UPS Operation

6.1UPS System Overview

The Powerware 9395 UPS is a continuous−duty, solid-state, transformerless (at 480 Vac), three−phase, true online system that provides conditioned and uninterruptible AC power to the UPS system’s output and critical load.

The basic system consists of a rectifier, battery converter, inverter, monitoring/operation control panel, integrated communication server, and digital signal processor (DSP) logic. Figure 6-1shows the main elements of the UPS system.

If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in Chapter 10, backup battery supply to maintain power to

the critical load for a specified period of time or until the utility power returns. For extended power outages, the UPS allows you to either transfer to an alternative power system (such as a generator) or shut down your critical load in an orderly manner.
